Abstract
Trump’s recently passed “One Big, Beautiful Bill” bars Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood for one year – a provision now temporarily blocked after Planned Parenthood filed suit. But the measure builds on, and must be read against, the backdrop of Medina v. Planned Parenthood, a recent and disastrous Supreme Court ruling initiated by South Carolina and now poised to inspire copycat efforts in other states. The case starkly illustrates the Court’s continued alignment with an anti-abortion agenda advanced through state governments. As Justice Jackson forcefully argued, the decision forms part of a broader assault on civil rights – and its entanglement with Medicaid signals a deeper campaign against the poor and access to healthcare.
